Question 10 • Physical Science

Which is a property of every mixture?

Answer
A
One substance can be separated from another through physical means.
B
Different samples of a single mixture have different characteristics.
C
The molecules of one substance break down in the other.
D
One substance dissolves in another substance.

Explanation

Mixtures contain substances that are combined without forming a new substance, so their components can be separated by physical methods, such as filtering or evaporation. Dissolving can occur in some mixtures, but not all; for example, sand and iron filings form a mixture without one dissolving in the other.
